Our goal for every Josephian in terms of the GCE 'O' level subjects offered is the same i.e. to offer him a subject combination that will give as much choice as possible for his post-secondary education.
The academic curriculum is comprehensive and demanding, and designed to prepare express-stream students for the GCE ‘O’ Level examinations and higher education.
At lower secondary level, all boys do the following examinable subjects: English Language, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science and Humanities. Higher Mother Tongue Languages are offered to Josephians who are in the top 10% of the PSLE cohort or top 30% with an A* in MTL at PSLE or at least a merit in HTML.
